Go 1.6 is the 7th release of the language which has been open source since November 10th, 2009 -- that's 6.5 years since the project was open sourced and nearly 4 years since the 1.0 release.
A lot has changed in the language since 1.0, so this is a great opportunity to discuss the improvements landing 1.6.

### What'll happen if Go 1.6 comes out early?
It'll ruin the surprise, but only a little. Being realistic, even without the difficulty of timezones it's impossible to run every meetup at exactly the same time. As mentioned above, Feb 17 is an arbitrary date.
